Room Orientation
The best way to make your living room more light-filled is to consider your room’s orientation. Typically, south-facing rooms get the most natural light during the day. Using recessed lighting can also help to light up your space. Unlike ceiling lights, recessed lights can be placed in various areas of your room, allowing for better natural lighting throughout the room.
Adding Mirrors
Adding mirrors is a great way to reflect light and make a room seem more spacious. Use mirrors to reflect light in areas of the room that don’t get a lot of natural sunlight. This can even make a room seem larger than it actually is. You can also use a light-coloured tapestry or wall hanging to set the mood.
Table Lamps
Another way to add light to your living room is to add a few table lamps. They will add a nice glow to the room, especially if you use the right type of light bulb. Also, try to use light-coloured furniture, such as a white sofa and chair. This will help to light up your room without making it feel too cluttered. You can also consider installing a glass-topped table, which will allow the light to shine through.
Light Wood Flooring
Another good way to add brightness to your living room is to use light wood flooring. This can help to hide scratches and make your room look more spacious. Light-colored woods include ash, maple, and birch. You can also use a light color for the ceiling of your room, which will bounce more light around the room.
